What the Solventum Rebrand Means for Dentists | Mark Cotton at Chicago Midwinter

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Chad Duplantis stopped by the Solventum booth at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting to catch up with Mark Cotton, Marketing Director for the United States and Canada, and get the inside story on one of the biggest changes in dentistry over the last year—the transition from 3M Health Care to Solventum. Mark explains how the April 2024 healthcare spin-off led to the creation of Solventum, a new standalone healthcare company focused on solving challenges with momentum. The good news for dental professionals? The products, people, service, and commitment to quality that clinicians have trusted for years aren't going anywhere. While the rebrand will take several years to fully roll out across product lines, the innovation and support behind the brand remain the same. If you've been wondering what the Solventum name means or how the transition affects the products you use every day, this conversation has the answers👏 ✨Work with Solventum: https://www.solventum.com/en-us/home/ 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch Chicago Midwinter Meeting discussions on our channel every Monday! 🌟Follow the DINKs to stay up to date on all the latest dental trends: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
